1,9 reformed each time the tie is used.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a necktiestructure wherein the front and tail pieces thereof are not disturbed inadjusting the tie for use.

Various other important objects and advantages of the invention willbecome apparent to the reader of the following specilication.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 represents a rear elevational view of the necktie with the tailVmember spread open to disclose the free end of the neck en. clrclingband.

Figure 2 re resents a fragmentary rear elevational view of the tie withthe parts intact.

Figure 3 represents a sectional view through the tail member of the tie.

Fi re 4 represents an enlarged fragmentary detailed sectional view takensubstantially on line 4-4 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts itcan be seen that numeral 5 represents the face portion of the tie strip,the same being vprovlded 'with a portion from which the knot structure 6is formed. Extending from this is the neck encircling band or strap 7which forms a loop by having its free end portion trained through theknot 6 and longitudinally through the tail member 8,v which tail memberis secured to the lower portion of the knot at the rear side of the faceportion 5 of the tie.

By referring to Figure l, it can be seen that the tail member 8 isslitted longitudinally and the edge portions of the tail member at theedge ortions of the slit are provided with male and female fasteningmembers 9-10 respectively which permit the tail member to be securedtogether at its 'edge portion as in the manner substantially shown inFigures 1 and 8.

The free end of the neck encircling strap 7 has a small stiifening,member-11 such as cardboard or the like laced thereinV so that the loodefined by the and can not be pulled apart y pulling this free endthrough the not. l

At this point, it will be observed that the face member 5 and the tailmember 8 are fixed with respect to each other and with respect to theknot structure 6 and there is no longitudinal deviation between thesetwo members when the tie is being adjusted to the neck of a wearer. v

In placing the necktie for use, the tail member 8 is opened up after theloop has been enlarged by pulling the free end toward the kn'otstructure 6 and after the loop has been placed over the head and aroundthe collar, the stifened end of the loop, that is its free end, is ippedand pulled toward the free end of t e tail member 8 and when the propertightness of the loop 4has been obtained, the fastening lelements9-10-can be engaged by closing the tail member 8. Thus, the parts 5, 6and 8 always remain intact and in themselves afford no means ofdiscoloration thereof.

While the foregoing s ciication sets forth the invention in speci cterms, it is to be v understood that numerous changes` inthe shape, sizeand materials may be resorted to without departing from 4the spirit orscope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A made-up tie comprising a tie strip including avface and knot formedportion, said knot portion being provided with a neck encircling bandportion having a free end, a tail member attached at one end to theknot, said band extending at its free end portion through the knot andlongitudinally in the said tail member.

2. A made-up tie comprising a tie strip in'-v circling band portionhaving a free end, a

, tail member attached at one end to the knot,

saidjband extending at its free end portion through the knot andlongitudinally in the said tail member, said tail member being slitL tedlongitudinally to permit access to the i interior thereof.

3. A madeup tie comprising a tie strip including a face and knot formedportion, said knot portion being provided With a neck encircling bandportion having a free'end, a tail member attached at one end to theknot,

said band extending at its free end portion through the" knot andlongitudinally -in the said tail member, said tail member being slittedlongitudinally to permit access to the interior thereof, means fordetachably connecting the edge portions of the tail member together atthe slit.

4.'In a necktie, a` knot structure, face and tail members lixedWithrespect to the knot structure and with respect to eachother, and aloop strip, one end of the loop strip being fixed with respect to theknot, the other end of the loop stri bein disposed through the knot andinto t e sai tail member. In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
